Wifi-adapter is not working

After running Sudo dnf upgrade and goofing around on my computer it randomly shut off and since then my wifi has not been working for the past four days.

I seen that system status was down and I tried to Rkill it but nothing seemed to be blocked.

My WiFi adapter is built into my motherboard so im not saying that is not the issue but I do not know

If anyone can help me or steer me into the right place that would be greatly appreciated as I read past entries I am not sure if its network manager or what but I live booted into a fresh fedora fresh install as well as a gentoo fresh install and the problem persisted

Welcome to Fedora!

Run lspci and see if there is an entry for your wifi device.

As the problem happens in a live USB and Gentoo, we should check hardware problems.

the motherboard that I have is a MSI PRO B840-P WiFi, will my wifi card be run over a LSPCI?

I don’t see a WiFi card. You might have https://www.linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:17cb-1107-105b-e0f7. Looks like it doesn’t work for many linux users, but is detected. Is this a home build or a commercial system? Have you verified that a WiFi is actually installed? Can you find BIOS support for WiFi?

You are right, the Motherboard I have is claimed to be working and apart of the link you sent

This is a home build

Have you verified that a WiFi is actually installed?

What do you mean by this? It comes preinstalled in the M.2 slot if thats what you mean

Can you find BIOS support for WiFi?

I will update my bios right now if that is what you’re insinuating

There should be BIOS/UEFI support if the board was shipped with WiFi, including options to enable or disable WiFi in BIOS. A BIOS update may be needed for proper function with recent Linux kernels, but you need to find a way to enable the WiFi device so it appears on the bus. Some systems provide a physical switch or jumper to enable WiFi. Some system board vendors provide bootable diagnostics that should verify that the WiFi device appeats on the bus.

I have not updated my bios since last November, that may be the problem.

Do I just update the bios or am I updating wifi drivers as well

Updating the bios did not do it what would be the next step?

Solved, I updated my bios and cleared my cmos
